“God is always the last resource.”

“Dantes passed through all the stages of torture natural to prisoners in suspense. He was sustained at first by that pride of conscious innocence which is the sequence to hope; then he began to doubt his own innocence, which justified in some measure the governor's belief in his mental alienation; and then, relaxing his sentiment of pride, he addressed his supplications, not to God, but to man. God is always the last resource. Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance.”

“I hate this life of the fashionable world, always ordered, measured, ruled, like our music-paper. What I have always wished for, desired, and coveted, is the life of an artist, free and independent, relying only on my own resources, and accountable only to myself.”

“God may sometimes appear to forget, when his justice is resting; but the time always comes when he remembers...”

“God may seem sometimes to forget for a while, whilst his justice reposes, but there always comes a moment when he remembers.”

“God will give me justice”

“Everyone knows that God protects drunkards and lovers.”
